Nice! I've owned both Ford and Toyota trucks and have had good luck with both brands. Just depends on who is looking for what at the time. You must've had exactly what someone else was currently in the market for!

Did it look like this:
My Client is interested in your 3 1/2 years old, Ford and has instructed me to purchase it. He has business oversees and has given me a certified bank check for $50,000. I will send you the check. Please wire the difference back to me and I will then pick up your 3 1/2 years old, Ford.
Thank you

He did haggle on price and said if he does agree to buy it tomorrow, we will go to a local Chase branch to draw the cashiers check. |

Well I wouldn't count on it until he shows up with the check.
I was surprised when I tried to sell a car (via classified ads in the old days) how many people would call, even ask for directions then not show up.
And I have telemarketers call me on the phone all the time from "my" area code, and it is obvious once they speak that they are not from anywhere near here.

It can work.
The last car I sold, the guy drove from a larger town 2 1/2 hours away. Bought the car. Paid cash. Drove it home.
The car before that, the person I sold it to didn't drive it until they pulled it out of my driveway. I offered a test drive. They turned me down. Gave me several hundred cash to hold the car for a few days while they got the rest of the money together. Then paid cash.

I've sold 2 vehicles sight unseen to people who wired the money to my bank and sent transports to pick them up. Both were specialty vehicles, which is what I have for sale right now. I priced it pretty agressively as I'd like to get the garage space back to begin building my new work bench.

He came from a town about an hour away. But we didn't use Auto Trader. We used Craigslist. |

It is a limited production truck and the used market is pretty thin. Values have really been propped up. We paid $46,500 in June 2010. |
